IPOB PRESS RELEASE
29/10/2020
The laughable accusations from Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, and other mischief makers that IPOB killed some northerners living in Biafraland particularly in Rivers State during the #EndSARS nationwide protests is idiotic and condemnable.
First it was some ethnic jingoists that began to peddle this
wicked narrative in a failed effort to twist glaring facts. They accused IPOB
of hiding under the protests to destroy Yoruba property in Lagos, another black
lie engineered by agents of neo-colonialism and southern weaklings submissive
to the caliphate agenda. We gather that some northern reactionary groups have
joined the fray- all targeted at isolating Ndigbo and other Biafrans living in
the north for possible extermination as they did after the 1966 coup, which
they cleverly tagged an Igbo coup to suit their genocidal purposes.
It's not in doubt that the #EndSars protests were a
spontaneous reaction of angry Nigerian youths against army and police brutality
and bad governance. The protests were very peaceful until the 12th day when
soldiers and police massacred protesters at Lekki and other parts of the
country.
Nigerian youths quite rightly retaliated these barbaric
killings by Nigeria's overzealous security operatives. The reprisal attacks
occurred in different parts of the country and not limited to Biafraland.
How come the enemies of Biafra are now beginning to point
accusing finger at IPOB? Are they telling us IPOB are responsible for the
burning of Igbo properties and the car Mart at Apo Villa Abuja? What about the
destruction of Igbo properties in Kano, Lagos and the killing of Igbos in
Obigbo Rivers State where Fulani thugs backed by soldiers were caught on camera
attacking Biafrans in broad daylight?
Maybe the people in dark suits ferrying thugs with DSS SUV Jeeps to attack protesters in Abuja
were IPOB members. Or the people that used Lagos State owned BRT buses to ferry
known APC thugs from Mushin to protest grounds to hack innocent protesters to
death are also IPOB family members. The Janjaweed reprobates that attacked Apo
mechanic village were they IPOB family members? The criminals that destroyed properties
at Nnewi under the supervision of a local politician are they too IPOB members?
It is imperative we remind Nigerians, particularly the
Janjaweed core Arewa north, that IPOB does not engage in barbaric acts like
killings and destruction of properties like Fulani terrorists, including those
in military and police uniforms. We are not like any of the numerous Fulani
terrorist groups killing, raping and pillaging at will and we do not intend to
become one.
It's very appalling that enemies of freedom and caliphate
slaves, with the support of traitors and selfish politicians are busy twisting
the narrative to blackmail IPOB. We know their game plan. They are seeking to
justify their long held desire to militarize Biafraland using the purported
destruction of property as an excuse.
But we want to quickly remind them that such lame excuse
cannot fly. It's on record that Biafraland was not the only place where there
was destruction of properties during the#EndSARS protests. Casualty figures
were even higher in some states outside Biafra, yet the ongoing heavy
deployment of soldiers in Biafraland, especially in Imo State is not witnessed
anywhere else. Shame on the criminal political class for conniving with age
long enemies of Biafra to bring war to Biafraland.
We cannot be intimidated any more. They have shown us that
we can never be accepted in their One Nigeria and they cannot deploy Boko Haram
terrorists in military uniform in our land to kill us in cold blood and expect
us not to defend ourselves and our land.
